They need to determine precisely who are the favorite characters of the community! Project Soul is probably preparing something huge … Stay tuned and spread the news!"

"SoulCalibur" is a weapon-based 3D fighting game developed by Project Soul for Bandai Namco which was originally released for arcades in 1998 running on the Namco System 12 hardware. It was later on ported to the Sega Dreamcast. The U.S. version was released in September 1999 also on the Dreamcast. In 2008, it became available as a downloadable title on Xbox 360's Live Marketplace.
Players get to play their characters who are part of a group of warriors on a mission to stop the evil Soul Edge, a cursed blade and its host, Nightmare and his minions who slaughter and claim souls to strengthen Soul Edge.
The game is the second game in the "Soul" series, the first one being "Soul Edge." The biggest innovations introduced in the game is what is called "the eight-way run." Previous 3D fighters had only limited movement along the third axis, with sidesteps and rolls providing useful but unsustained lateral movement. In "SoulCalibur," holding down a joystick direction makes the character run in that direction.
